PROJECT 12A: MOTION BLUR (Shutter Priority)

RATIONALE:  To make the same photo TWICE at two different shutter speeds to capture TWO DIFFERENT amounts of intentional motion blur. 

*************************

DIRECTIONS FOR IN CLASS & HOME:
1. Complete the worksheet photo subjects as explained.
2. Write down the shutter speed (or pre-set 'category') in the "SHUTTER SPEED 1" & "SHUTTER SPEED 2" columns.
3. Remember: you are making TWO photographs of EVERY subject. The point is to capture TWO different amounts of motion blur.

CAMERA SETTINGS FOR BOTH IN-CLASS & HOME:
1. Slow your shutter speed as you did for the worksheet practice photos.
2. If you have a DSLR camera w/an "S" setting...set it to that "S" setting. Choose the shutter speed you want. (This is called "SHUTTER PRIORITY," and the camera will adjust the other settings automatically.)
3. With your partner, photograph the following on the WS. :

HOMEWORK: Finish "AT HOME" side of the worksheet.

PROJECT #11: SABATTIER

DIRECTIONS FOR DEVELOPING & POSTING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS:

For each photo...
1. Take photo to BLACK & WHITE.
2. Adjust the BRIGHTNESS + CONTRAST to enhance (deepen and brighten) the values in the photograph.
3. "SAVE AS" the image, and add "BW" to the end of the file name so you do not save over the original. 
4.  Post all images.

NOW...
1. Choose five of your photos that have the HIGHEST CONTRAST.
2. For each photo, OPEN the photo.
3. Create a DUPLICATE LAYER of the background image (Layers palette).
4. Change BLENDING MODE to "EXCLUSION"
5. Open CURVES and adjust the histogram line to a "W" or an "M" to produce a SOLARIZED/SABATTIER image with MACKIE LINES.

You need to post...
6+ photos processed into Sabattier.
Post the original next to the processed image.
(That is 10+ photos total that are posted)

SABATTIER EFFECT.
Sometimes known as "solarization."

TO DO: Download Shutter App

For the next project (intentional motion blur), you will need an app for your phone that allows you to control the shutter speed.

This site (CLICK HERE) might have a shutter app for your phone.

MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE TO LOOK FOR IN THE APP YOU GET: 
You want an app that will give you a range of slow shutter speeds (1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 1", 10", 30", 60", Bulb)

In the app, the shutter speed might not look like a fraction. It may just be a listing of the denominator of the shutter speed fractions. (ex: 250, 125, 60, 30, 15, 8, 4...).
